Add / remove a user from the staff directory

Learn how to control which faculty and staff appear in your school website public staff directory (/apps/staff/) using CMS User Management user types.

Overview

Your main Staff Directory (the public website page at /apps/staff/) is generated automatically from User Management. A user appears in the directory when their profile has at least one of three User Types selected: School Administrators, Teachers, or Other Employees. Removing all three User Types removes them from the directory.

Looking for the Mobile App Directory? This guide applies to the CMS Website Staff Directory (/apps/staff/). If your school uses the Edlio Mobile App, contacts for the mobile app are managed separately in the EdlioApp Admin Dashboard under Features > Directory. Selecting a User Type in CMS User Management does not automatically sync a staff member to the Mobile App Directory. For mobile app directory instructions, see Directory: Overview and Management.

In CMS User Management, the User Type checkboxes carry this label: "Select a user type to display this person in the main staff directory and give them a few specific permissions."
